A few years ago I saw a movie on TV that had an unspeakably horrible
scene in it. I vowed that next time it was on I would record the
scene for future enjoyment. Here are a few fuzzy recollections about 
the movie:

Title: Something similar to "Marathon Man," but must not actually be
    Marathon Man, since I saw that movie recently and it didn't contain
    the scene.

Plot: A group of evil scientists try to piece together the ultimate
    human machine from parts taken from athletes.

Horrible Scene: A jogger is mugged while jogging in the park. He
    awakes to find himself in a hospital bed. He throws off the
    covers and finds one leg has been amputated. A nurse comes in and 
    gives him some sedative or something, and the movie switches to 
    some subplot scene, I believe.
	The scene then switches back to the man in the bed, as he
    just awakes from the sedative. He throws off the covers to find
    both his legs gone. A nurse gives him another sedative. The movie,
    I believe, switches back to another sub-plot scene.
	The scene then again switches to the man in the bed, showing
    at first just his face, which is wearing an expression of total
    shock, disbelief, and crazed horror. As the camera backs away,
    showing more and more of the man, it becomes visible that now both
    the man's arms are missing as well.

Does anyone know the name of the movie?

As a side discussion to spawn, can anyone describe a scene in any movie
currently playing on the TV late-nite circuit that is more horrifying 
than this one?
